Because the wind couldn't possibly blow that somewhere outside the sacrosanct boundaries of yellow tape.
Get a fucking ladder and remove that before someone gets beheaded!

You can try The Restaurant Store in Andalusia, right outside Philadelphia on Rte 13.

I guess it depends. Is it the best I’ve ever seen at Philly? No. Is it the worst? Also no.
Did I get some new ideas for gardening this year? Yes. I might do a tropical garden theme in my yard this year, so they had some fun exhibits on that that gave me some ideas. Did I like the vendors? Yes, there seemed to be a good variety. I’m more into plants and seeds myself.
Do you like to look at all the competition exhibits? I do. I don’t know how the judges come to their conclusions sometimes but I enjoy trying to guess. Do you like orchids? I am. There were an incredible number of them on display at the entrance.
If you don’t enjoy these things, then give it a pass. If you do, you’ll have a good time.

That’s your call. It sounds like you have a lot going on. If you are tight of finances, I would definitely become a temple patient. It’s a process, but if you show motivation to constantly come in for your appts, you can get things done somewhat quicker and with better affordability relative to outside dentists. Good luck

My original dentist did 2 root canals in 8th grade, never got crowns or caps just filling. In 10th grade the filling on the left was gone and tooth was broken, they pulled the tooth.
I went to a different dentist last month (21 now) and they did xrays and said there was an infection on the right side, the fillings all gone. they gave me a paper with 4 referrals of endos accepting medicaid. 3/4 no longer accept it.
Im not sure if theyd pull it or cap it or something, but I dont really have a primary dentist anymore, do you think I should try to become a patient at for Temple?

So the one thing temple sucks terribly at is phone calls. They’re all over the place.
To answer your question, it depends.
You said the tooth already had a root canal done previously, but now it needs to be redone? Are you going back to your original dentist to continue treatment and just want the root canal done at temple and that’s all?
If the answer to the above questions is “yes” then you need to look up and contact the graduate endodontics department at temple, tell them you have a referral to redo a root canal. They will do it for you in 1-2 visits and bypass all the other appts I mentioned, then they will send you back to your original dentist for further treatment if needed.
If you want to become a patient of the school and want the school to be your primary dental provider, then you will have to go through the whole process. I hope this isn’t too confusing.

so if i have a super dead tooth (previously a root canal but all the filling is gone) and a dentist said it was infected and sent me off, would temple still do 3-4 initial appts? ive been calling temples endodontics department but they never answer and theyre the only people accepting state ins

So to get this shot, you need a long-focus lens I suspect. I don't think Center City's skyscrapers would be so big from 63rd St. Also, I guess you have to wake up before dawn.

I’m a past and present Temple dental school patient. The quality of the work is excellent. I would call them. I had the basic work done over 5 visits. Next up is the extraction surgery, bone reconstruction and an implant. It’s not free, but less expensive than a private dentist. There’s an application for a sliding fee scale if you’re interested. They are located at right at the Broad And Allegheny station of the orange line.

That is so cool! I discovered it around the time I got married. Loved it. Ever since I ask for a case of GM for my birthday.

Thanks! I started drinking Victory before the bottles had labels and the Downingtown brewery was constructed as my brother’s friend was related to one of the founders. Summer of ‘93. I drank a six-pack of what turned out to be Golden Monkey and Storm King Stout…I got so, so sick. But I’ll always have loyalty to the brand.

Also, if you order online from them, you can actually pick up at their HQ in Cherry Hill (Marlkress Rd, 5 minutes from 295 exit 34)

I know, right? I even asked for the cost of having to get my medical records as I’d been a patient since 2002, but the woman in the front desk didn’t even react. I just moved on; sadly, medical discrimination still a thing, and I doubt they care what a Latinx has to say. I had been happy with the care until they moved to 38th…when they were at 34th everything was fine! Both dentists and hygienists left after the move (I know because one of them started working for my new dentist)

You may try calling around and asking dentists/endodontists if they discount services for cash/self pay. When I didn’t have insurance my dentist charged me the insurance reimbursement rate which is like half of the price they normally charge.
Someone else recommended care credit, which is also a good option. If you can’t pay it off before the zero interest period expires, make sure you have a plan to do a balance transfer to another card bc the default rates are high and the interest from the whole promotional period will hit retroactively if you don’t pay it!

That's pretty odd as I've been going to Penn Dental (most recently at their new digs at 38th and Market) for 15 years or so, and I've seen a dentist every single time. Never have I had just a cleaning without a dentist coming in to examine my mouth and review the x-rays if necessary. Same with both my spouse and child. Heck, my kid has been going since their teeth first came in.
Edit: I would hope you made your displeasure known to the front office. Penn Health takes their patient feedback very seriously. I can't imagine registering a complaint and having the same issue a second time.
